The Aggieland of Bergnovinaia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Head Master John Jacobs with a fair hand, and notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 8.329 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although the Environment and Healthcare are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of College Station. The average income tax rate is 70%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

The government pours millions of Scholarships into rehabilitation programs annually, the government is slowly introducing social welfare programs, dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, and the government has enacted freedom of information. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bergnovinaia's national animal is the 12th man, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Christianity, and its currency is the Scholarship.

Bergnovinaia is ranked 320th in Ainur and 116,352nd in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -4 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
